72 Barracuda Hidden for 19 years!

[TorOrange]

Alright so I posted a wanted add on cl and got this email, Shame It's not a 70 but it looks pretty damm good. So I'm thinking about it what do you guys figure the price range should be Also is that gills I see on the rocker?

Still waiting for more info.

Email I got

72 barracuda just install a timing chain and rebuild carb the has been garage for 19 years.

[wagesofsin]

i dont see gills.

maybe its a reflection off the ramps which just happen to be next to the rocker trim?...

whats the skinny on the price?

[TorOrange]

I guess they are just flat moldings. As for price he didn't mention and he is slow on responding to my email so Waiting!

My wanted ad was was looking for a 70 under 7k so I'm thinking hes looking to get 5-7k.

[mopar12372]

 5-7k sounds good , i can remember a day when people where paying that for incomplete rust piles.

[CUDAMAN1970]

$5000-$7000 seems like a good deal to me.  If the car is as solid in person as it looks in the 1 photo and was within in driving distance, I'd probably jump on that deal.  I assume it has at least a 318 in it (the slant six was an option in 1972).

72 74 Cuda used the same rocker molding as the Challenger, Dart, Duster and others.

Looks like a complete original car.  I think $5000- $7000 is a good price.   

[Tonefiend]

Wow good luck with that one!  Dig that nice original CA. car.  It looks like there is some potential there!

For the money now it would be a shame to not pick up a 70 or a 71, rather than a 72. Just sayin.
I'm not saying it isnt worth 5-7k, if it is very clean with no rust, but if I were buying today I wouldnt consider anything other than a 70-71.

   Some people prefer the look of a 72.   

[wally426ci]

I love it.

Buy it Buy it Buy it.

Thats rare side trim, even though i dont like the look.

['Cuda Hunter]

Buy it!  Looks nice.

Doesn't sound like it needs much to start.  Ha Ha. 

I doubt the two items you mentioned would get it running again since it has sat for 19 years.  Probably needs alot of going through. 

Looks like it could be driven without too much work though. 

[JoltinJoe]

very nice!

  I prefer to have a 70 over any other, but its hard to find one here in Cali for under 7k or anywhere with transport under 7k can't afford more atm

I do plan on buying it still waiting for a reply 

Oh forgot Thanks Everyone for the feedback much appreciated 

[Challenger6pak]

Is the hood rusted or just dirty?  I'll bet the car would look entirely different with just a cleaning.
